At an official N900 meet-up in London last night, the Maemo marketing team appears to have let slip that Nokia will use the Linux-based OS instead of S60 on all its future flagship N-Series handsets. About time, no?

The S60 5th edition OS (as used on the N97 and N97 mini) might be mature, but it’s pretty damn woeful. Maemo 5 (used by the N900) definitely has a better user experience, and though it’s not perfect either, it’s definitely headed in the right direction. Speaking of which, Nokia’s next OS, Maemo 6, could look like this. [The Reality Mobile Project]
